Dear Roseline,

Reumatic heart disease can affect heart valves.
Actually, surgery is considered in case of severely affected valves. Otherwise medical treatment and follow-up is only needed.
You should discuss the severity of your heart valve problems with your doctor.


Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
